Configuring MAC Authentication with Captive Portal
Authentication
The following configuration conditions apply to MAC + captive portal authentication method:
l If the captive portal splash page type is Internal-Authenticated or External-RADIUS Server, MAC
authentication reuses the server configurations.
l If the captive portal splash page type is Internal-Acknowledged or External-Authentication Text and
MAC authentication is enabled, a server configuration page is displayed.
You can configure the MAC authentication with captive portal authentication for a network profile using the
Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
1. Select an existing wireless or wired profile for which you want to enable MAC with captive portal
authentication. Depending on the network profile selected, the Edit <WLAN-Profile> or the Edit Wired
Network window is displayed.
To enable MAC authentication with captive portal authentication on a new WLAN SSIDor wired profile, click the
Security tab on the New WLAN window and the New Wired Network window.
2. On the Security tab, specify the following parameters:
a. Select Enabled from the MAC authentication drop-down list to enable MAC authentication for captive
portal users. If the MAC authentication fails, the captive portal authentication role is assigned to the
client.
b. To enforce MAC authentication, click the Access tab and select Enforce MAC auth only role check
box.
3. Click Next and then click Finish to apply the changes.
In the CLI
To configure MAC authentication with captive portal authentication for a wireless profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# type <guest>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# mac-authentication
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# captive-portal {<type> [exclude-uplink <types>]|external
[Profile <name>] [exclude-uplink <types>]}
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# set-role-mac-auth <mac-only>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To configure MAC authentication with captive portal authentication for a wired profile:
(Instant AP)(config)# wired-port-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(wired ap profile <name>)# type <guest>
